As part of the reverse merger, the Company acquired office equipment with a fair value of $5,706.  The Company uses the straight-line method of depreciation over 3 to 10 years. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company installed equipment with a total cost of $1,499,080 at the site of its first commercial customer in Centralia, Washington. This equipment is subject to a bargain purchase option on January 1st, 2015 and the Company also bears the cost of asset retirement at the end of the commercial contract should the customer not exercise the purchase option. The Company believes that if required to retire, the scrap value of the equipment would offset the cost of removal. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, depreciation expense charged to operations was $411,853 and $16,743, respectively. Due to theshort-term idling of both power units at the Company’s commercial customer, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $400,000 againstthe value of the equipment in the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The Company recorded an additional impairment charge of $400,000 in the quarter ended December 31, 2012 after further review of the expected revenues from the customer prior to the bargain purchase option date of January 1, 2015.
